I have never grown anything from seed save a few carrots years ago. I've been devouring the ATP podcasts, and I was sold on winter sowing from the start! There are four of us in an 1,100 sq ft house which is crowded with bookcases, chemistry equipment on a rolling cart, etc. (we Homeschool). There just isn't really much room for grow lights. We have a tiny piece of property too, already landscaped heavily, so I don't have beds and beds to work with.
My hope is that my husband will extend our front lawn bed (it has two trees in it) to cover most of the yard so I can put some fruit bushes in. I also plan to make a teepee of some sort in the perennial garden for a climber, add a cucumber trellis, after bringing in some compost to add to the bed and plant a zucchini near the gardening shed. The rest will be grown in our very small raised bed on the side of the house -- tomatoes, peppers, pineapple sage and herbs mainly with a few flowers added in.
I'd like to try tomatoes from seed for certain.
